Gundam 00 — Episode 11
Yet another boring episode. I think someone should ban Sunrise from making any “character development” episodes because frankly I don’t give a damn about the Gundam Meisters.
In fact, let’s just turn all the Gundams into unmanned weapon systems that are controlled by Veda through mesh networking!
Summary
Because this is a “character development” episode, nothing much happens. Basically, Allelujah/Hallelujah flies into HRL’s space colony 全球 (a terrible pseudo Chinese name that only a Japanese could come up with) and blows up the Super Soldier Organization’s research facility with a lot of angst in between. Also, apparently it’s illegal to drink in space until you are twenty! (Either that or Sunrise thinks that Japanese laws will become international in 300 years.)
Screencaps
Once the fighting starts, you just know that the black guy is going to die first.
“Ian attached my instrument back, if you know what I mean.” *wink*
Apparently this is Lieutenant Ming’s lover before he got blown into stardust
I hate her less now, mostly because I’m tired
Magic!
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
Who’s that on the right?
How can anyone have a serious discussion dressed like that?
I want a monitor like that too
Be careful Allelujah!
Tieria and Veda sitting in a tree…
Colony drop!
Inside the colony
A wise old man—you can tell from his beard
Shirin, do I look grand yet?
Why does Sunrise insist on wasting time every episode to give every single character airtime? There has to be a limit to fan service!
I still want my episode 9 back. :(

I agree with OrochiShinobi that it could be interpreted as whole world, but that still makes it a rather retarded name for a colony.
Haven’t seen the episode yet, but it does look like another lackluster ep. I can only hope that Soma had at least one good liner. At this point I really don’t give a damn about anyone in CB, but that’s only because their enemies are much less developed as characters.
Wait there’s magic? Perhaps this will be the first Gundam with elves and orcs. Still I doubt that Sunrise can pay proper homage to high fantasy, no doubt they lack the creativity to create names like Angband or Dol Guldur.

I would also like to have that kind of monitor too :3 Those three mans reminds me of the Astray girls. This ep is so like Nadesico

Easy there.. Im sure some sweet battles are coming up, and yes.. I miss episode 9 as well… At least louise’s segment was short!.. very short… other than that… I hope to see more delicious gundam fighting action.. at least Initial D’s fifth stage is coming out soon… or so I hear

kyrios missile spam! hopes to see more variety in weapons for kyrios. louise n saji are seriously fillers, they are there for the sake of being there…

No, qrex. I think Louise and Saji have a purpose. I just wish Sunrise would hurry up and reveal it already…

Why’d they arrest the visored guy who was in charge of the super soldier girl? o_o

After examining Taozi’s mission recorder, he confirmed that one of the Gundam pilots was a former test subject, but he choose to hide the fact from Sergei because the subject in question was supposed to have been secretly disposed of by the research facility.

Sumeragi is the biggest alcoholic I’ve ever seen in an anime series so far

In the “monitor” picture, she (I forgot her name. Forgive me) doesn’t throw a shadow. I mean, how ridiculous is that?
December 16th, 2007 at 10:29 pm
Every time Hallelujah makes an apperance makes the episode viewable :p
Who cares about politics when you got a psycho schizofrenic super soldier going berserk?
Not me.
But then again, ít has been boring since you knew that Tiera if cornered would have a trick up his sleeve and well Hallelujah doesn´t really value human life and thus is kinda obvious what he´s going to do.
Wonder why Sumeragi was so ashamed of herself… some stupid lover probably.

I want one of those monitors too… :3

“Once the fighting starts, you just know that the black guy is going to die first.”
I hope he does, i don’t like his hair style.

“There has to be a limit to fan service!”
Lies.

Wow spoilers, glad i watched it first.
Oh well this episode was interesting but not really worth the trouble downloading.

Fuck ur hard to please

“全球” could possibly mean “world-wide”.
Still a stupid name though.

“Sumeragi is the biggest alcoholic I’ve ever seen in an anime series so far”
“Wonder why Sumeragi was so ashamed of herself… some stupid lover probably.”
Reminds me of NERV Misato. Come to think of it, the whole characters all seem to be linked to Evangelion.
Misato -> Sumeragi who’s surrounded by a bunch of kids in big machines. Alcoholic too.
Rei -> Allelujah the genetically created human
Shingi -> Setsuna obviously. Goes berserk from time to time. Doesn’t follow orders. The young one.
Asuka -> Tiera who’s all manly in front, but insecure in the inside. And both effeminate.
Toji -> Lockon, who makes a few token appearances shooting cannonfodder, but not much else really. Expect Lockon to die by Setsuna’s hand then.
Further on we also have
Gendo -> Aeolia, the mysterious man behind everything. Note the glasses.
Ritsuko -> Wong Liu Mei. Women with high tech equipment. Of course, the main difference here is that Liu Mei has a man following her everywhere… which could only be Kaji. So expect a hot SumeragiXHongLong action, with Tiera having a massive crush on the latter.
Ah quite an amusing 5 minute writeup. ^^

Does anyone get the feeling Tieria is some alien\cybernetic crossbreed? and what is Veda? A supercomputer or mechanical extraterrestrial intelligence?
December 19th, 2007 at 11:09 pm
I don’t know, I keep getting this feeling that Tieria is a cyborg with Aeolia’s consciousness stuck in it, basically Tieria = Vessel for Aeolia’s consciousness and that Veda is Tieria as well. Oh well, just some weird stuff I came up with. I don’t think I’m right, but it’s just a feeling XD
